A mystery clean-up of a famous Black Isle woodland site reputed to have healing powers has sparked a massive debate.
A storm of protest on social media greeted news that ‘cloots’ had been removed from The Clootie Well in Munlochy with some warning a curse would be invoked and others decrying desecration of local heritage. Believers thought that as the cloth faded, so would the illness suffered by a loved one.
